SharePoint Search not finding results - Inconistent Experience with and without *
Searching a SharePoint Online Calendar, for a job number I can find some items without * and some items only with *. This is perplexing as the job number is part of a text field in all records. E.g...
That is strange indeed in these numbers are in the same library? and Same Column?
Same list, same column and do not appear in any other column.
That is really strange indeed as i could think a column has text or number and the difference in that would explain the issue.
mm and it does it random?
- As far as I can tell it’s completely random. Not one user’s entry, list not at limit. However it seems to always work if we search for string* even though the string isn’t first thing in the field so really should be *string*. The field I am searching always has structure [?] ????? Name
As we now have a way that always works it’s no longer an issue for my client, but i’ll be looking for it elsewhere too, see if I can spot a pattern.
